Nothing quite says summer like shrimp tacos while sipping on an icy cold beer if you so please! We found this delicious recipe on Pinch of Yum who brought it back from a trip she took to California.

What's not to love?! Seafood, potatoes, corn on the cob, andouille sausage and my favorite seafood cajun seasoning … [Read more...]
